where does iPeng lock up?
iPeng reads _all_ stuff in the background in separate threads and while
it can take a while to download tables it never locks up during that
time.
Loading tables is also not slower than with SqueezePad and while you can
not use SqueezePad while it loads (it only shows a progress bar and no
content), you can fully use iPeng as soon as the first page of content
is loaded.
The only thing iPeng does differently and that can put more load on the
server is that it loads albums, artists and genres after startup even if
you don't use them but the App itself stays responsive while you do this
and you can e.g. open other menus.

There is ONE exception, but that has nothing to do with browsing the
server: if you use iPeng's web browser under iOS 6 and you open a link
that takes long to respond (JavaScript links are especially notorious
here) it can indeed completely lock up, but that never happens while you
use the normal menus to browse your server.
The web browser problem is due to a bug in iOS 6 and I don't have a
workaround, Apple needs to fix this, it's been known for 6 months now.
